The thing I hate the most is that it's blind snobbery too. I don't understand how the people that have never owned this camera, because it JUST came out, are on the subreddits saying to get other cameras because this one is crap???? And the suggestions are ones that make no sense either, they are either photography based cameras or video based that cost much more than this one. The whole point of this camera is that it is supposed to do photo and video well enough at a really low price point.
Agreed, but Fuji did get greedy and made this a stripped down version of what used to be the entry level camera (X-tXX series). This allows them to sell this at a low price while raising the X-T50 price significantly. At the very least they should’ve added a low-level in-body stabilization for this.
YES for a video comparing the X-T50 and 7ac! Love your videos btw. I’m about to get myself a X-T50 thanks to you!!! Out of all the sea of haters of the camera out there lol
@@Joyce-wj8si Haha, that's great and I hope you enjoy it! The X-T50 is definitely underrated. Don't worry, I've already started on that comparison with the A7C2! Thanks for your support 🙏🏿
X-M5 is probably a great option for someone graduating from an iPhone and looking to buy their first camera. No EVF would be no big loss to a user like that, and having interchangeable lenses sets it apart from the Ricoh and other point and shoot cameras. With the good sensor and processor and quality glass, the iPhone users will be amazed. OK, no IBIS but if you aren't a content creator and are only using the camera for family and holiday snaps and videos, while adding in the film simulations makes this camera a master stroke to get new photographers into the Fuji eco system. At least Fuji knows who they are targeting with this camera, good luck to them. Can't wait to try one out.
I’ve got the Fuji X-T5 that I use for photography. Love it. But I see the X-M5 as a great replacement for my Sony ZV-1 for content creation. Flippy screen, bigger sensor, a touch screen that works, and of course I can use my existing Fuji glass with it. The cherry is I can go out shooting dialing Fuji’s with my wife!
Love your videos! I'm not really into the X-M5, the absence of a viewfinder is hard to compensate in bright sunlight but looking forward to see your unboxing and first impressions with it, once you have it. I'm on the fence of buying X-T 50 or A7CII so I'd really appreciate a comparison of these cameras in a future video!
@@Sunkissed1968 I get it. Bright and sunny days are definitely a scenario where the viewfinder comes in clutch. Stay tuned, I've actually already started working on that X-T50/A7CII comparison.
Great video! That X-M5 really does look like a great camera. Maybe it could be my day to day and my X-S20 could stay my video camera. I still haven't had a chance to get my hands on the X-T50. I think I would really like that one.
@@jbivphotography Thank you! 🙏🏿 I think the X-M5 would be an excellent companion to the XS20. I love the X-T50! It really does feel like a X-T5/X100VI hybrid.
Yes, you said it. The XM5 definitely will put a lot of pressure on Ricoh's GR3 series cameras which are fast becoming uncompetitive. The retractable lens on the Ricoh will have reliability and dust problems in the long run.
I use a nisi adapter that allows me to use a filter. It also limits the ability for any dust. Promist 1/8 filter to limit some of that lenses natural sharpness.
I’m an outdoor person, Love hiking and riding bikes. For those activities I was using a GRIII because of size and competence as a photographic tool. I bought it when it came out. The photos are really good but after a while I realized (again) that 18 mm respectively 28 mm is too wide for me. On top the dial on the back und recently the other dials too became totally unreliable, values jumping without reason and having no control over them at any point. As far as the net goes this problem is known. To get it fixed cost too much. So I was looking for another very compact camera but there aren’t much out there. Now the x-m5 was introduced and it might just fit my purpose. The kit lens though is out of question. I rather have the 16-50 or the 27 mm pancake lens. The price ist really good on the x-m5. But I will maybe wait to see what an x-e5 might be.
Absolutely agree- this is the Ricoh GRiv we’ve been waiting for Plus great video. Don’t see any reason to buy a GR anymore. Thanks for the thoughtful comparison
this got me pumped for the XS30....what on earth will that product have if M5 for 800 bucks has all that?! I would love to see the rolling shutter from XHS2 on the XS30....improve the viewfinder? what else.
XM5 looks really awesome. Excited to see your future review. Is this current autofocus glitch very real? I’ve been on Fuji since 2018, and I have noticed it since the last firmware update. Is the problem mostly in AF-C? I rarely use AF-C, and only do stills on my XT5 but I’ll definitely switch to single point. Dumb question: Should I turn OFF eye detect? I use my Fuji cameras to make a big part of my living, andI have since 2018. I’m a headshot photographer working in studio and natural light. In studio, I’ve not noticed any problems at all with AF. Likely because I’m between f5.6 and f8. But last two outside shoots (post firmware 4.0) I did notice about 50 out 500 (10% or so) were a bit off with the focus. I’m primarily shooting on the 56mm and not wide open. I got eye confirmation, but it focused on the tip of the nose, etc. Till Fuji fixes this, should I turn off eye tracking and stick to face detection? I did try that and got almost no misfires. Seems to do with the eye tracking giving false confirmation. I have a shoot coming up this week so help is appreciated!
@@babyboy1971 Yeah, I do think the Fuji af problem pertains to the AF-C setting and AF-S is more reliable. To be honest I typically do turn off eye-detect af on the X-T50. I haven't had any autofocus problems on that camera, but I also typically don't shoot wide open. I also remapped my 'AF On' button to quickly turn on and off eye-detect. That way if I feel I need/don't need it I can quickly toggle it.
hey, thanks! It offers advantages for Ricoh. it's also a bit bigger. But with the swivel display and the simulations I will sell them to Holden and the Ricoh. subscribed! It's all ok
I agree with all your point I think, it's definitely not meant to be a pro camera. definitely more so aimed for people who want to get into fujifilm or people who already own them and want a smaller/compact camera for secondary use or more leisure stuff. I pre-ordered this as well; definitely looking forward to using it. will be great for trips and family events so I don't have to take my xt4 with it's battery grip and all that i use for more professional stuff
Great review. Easy to watch and listen. Great attitude. I agree that too many photographers expect the camera to get the shot for them and while Fuji definitely needs to fix their AF woes, it’s still just fine. People need to improve their camera skills more.
I think this camera does a lot of what I want features wise. I've never had a Fuji and was kinda committed to Lumix, but was also eyeing Sony. This cam at that price is calling to me though. Thanks for the video.
@@GroundedTech Yeah, I have to admit that all those specs with THAT price was just too good to pass up for me. Sony and Lumix cameras are amazing though.
As an X100V owner, I’ve been looking to get something that’s more video/cinema centric with glass options (even though, it gets beautiful footage), but the $2500 to shell out for the XH2s is a bit much. However, the X-T5 and the X-T50 are very much in the convo too! Even considered jumping out to Canon with an R6mk2 (I shoot on an R6 at work) or a Sony FX30, but really don’t want to leave the Fuji ecosystem tbh. Decisions! Great vid, brother. Subbed!
@@BrayGrayy thank you for the response, Bray! Yeah looks like it will probably be the X-S20 for the win. From there, I may step up later, but it seems a good place to start.
They seem to be positioning the camera as more for video than stills, but I would definitely have concerns about the battery life for video - especially with some of the more demanding recording modes like 6k open gate or 4k60p. And for a stills camera, IBIS and an EVFs are must-haves for me personally. So not something I would really consider as either a video or stills camera, and would opt for either the X-S20 or X-T50 (or their bigger brothers the X-H2S or X-T5). But if my budget was under $1000, then yeah this thing would definitely be on my list!
just sold my xe3 and been saving for ricoh gr3 but think gonna pull the trigger on this one since comin from fuji system and have various fujinon lenses it makes more sense to me..
Yes for the comparison of X-M5 and the Sony. I think X-M5 is really geared towards content creators and basic photography. I am definitely considering getting one. Having an XT-20, it'll be fun to work with the X-M5 camera.
Oh I'm in the same situation. Would love to see how you use the M5 coming from xt20. I just got it and I'm trying to figure out if I like my xt20 better only because I'm so used to the analog dials.
Great video! I’m in the market for a camera for the first time since an old entry level Canon DSLR back in the mid 2000’s. Not looking to break the bank and have been stuck between GR III, XM-5 and Sony A6400/ZV E10. Mainly for vacations, family pictures and some landscape stuff! Video not important but nice bonus. Love how compacted GR III is but not sure if the fixed lens is too limiting as only camera.
Yeah, the thing with the GRiii line is you kind of need to know your preferences beforehand as far as focal length goes. Do you anticipate wanting to shoot more wide shots?... the GRiii is good for that at 28mm. Do you want to get shots that are closer to the field of view that your eyes normally see?.... the GRiiix works for that at 40mm. If you're unsure which focal length best resonates with you, I'd recommend the X-M5 to get something that's almost as compact but gives you focal length options with the ability to add a compact zoom lens.
I’m a Ricoh user, but, I’d love to know if this new Camera would be great with a Zoom lens. Using my IIIx, and cropping isn’t toooo bad, but, I’d love the X-M5 for a decent trip grab and go camera
@@Jazzy_Waffles Yep, I totally get that. Cropping with the standard GRiii was a no-go for me, so I'm definitely hoping the X- M5 can fill that void with a compact zoom.

Appreciate your thoughts. I think for $800usd this is an interesting camera. All the it should have this or should have that is just hot air. It's a seemingly competent camera at a very good price. Not having held it yet, I might/would miss an evf. But I seem to get by without one on my iPhone. So. Side note , I used an X-t50 for a bit and really enjoyed and used the film sim dial a lot. thanks - tim
@@engelbert611 Sorry, that wasn't what I meant. I was just saying that because the X-M5 had the film sim dial like the X-T50, setting up film recipes would probably be a similar process
10000% would love to see the shootout between the xt50 and A7CII - I'm currently rocking the xt50 with the 35mm 1.4 - but very curious about the a7cii - I have a ZV-E10 for video since I know the sony autofocus is better on video for sure - but debating the jump to FF in the A series or staying fuji and getting an XH2s
thank you for common sense.. people getting hysterical about nothing open gate on a camera this size with 4:2:2 are you kidding me AND half the price of a x100 whatever amazeBalls
Ordered the X-M5 with a XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR. I have a X100F I like because it's small takes decent pics and the video quality imo is great. I also have a Nikon 850 with the 24 - 70 2.8. Great camera but it is so bulky and heavy I don't like carrying it for personal work or just for fun. It is a workhorse. I'm hoping the X-M5 with the 16-55 will be my "Baby Bear" and motivate me to shoot and posting more videos as opposed to straight up photography which since the advent of the iPhone seems not in vogue.
I have the xt5, xh2s, xe1, Ricoh gr3, Ricoh gr3x, Hasselblad 501cm, Leica m6ttl, Fuji 18,23,33 f1.4 lenses, 50,80,150 for Hasselblad and 35 and 50 f2 lenses for the Leica. I also have a Nikon f2, plus 3 screw fit leicas, Nikon d200 and d700. Should I get the xt50 and the xm5 ?.
The photo snobbery is wild with people’s reaction to this camera. Not every camera needs to be the best at everything. I’m excited about this one.
The thing I hate the most is that it's blind snobbery too. I don't understand how the people that have never owned this camera, because it JUST came out, are on the subreddits saying to get other cameras because this one is crap????

@@karinjohnstone6690 Yeah that's probably what I'd do. I love 40mm.
Ordered the X-M5 with a XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR. I have a X100F I like because it's small takes decent pics and the video quality imo is great. I also have a Nikon 850 with the 24 - 70 2.8. Great camera but it is so bulky and heavy I don't like carrying it for personal work or just for fun. It is a workhorse. I'm hoping the X-M5 with the 16-55 will be my "Baby Bear" and motivate me to shoot and posting more videos as opposed to straight up photography which since the advent of the iPhone seems not in vogue.
I have the xt5, xh2s, xe1, Ricoh gr3, Ricoh gr3x, Hasselblad 501cm, Leica m6ttl, Fuji 18,23,33 f1.4 lenses, 50,80,150 for Hasselblad and 35 and 50 f2 lenses for the Leica. I also have a Nikon f2, plus 3 screw fit leicas, Nikon d200 and d700. Should I get the xt50 and the xm5 ?.

Just bought the X M5 and came here to find why the Autofocus is so sh.t
Hmm, I don't have my XM5 yet but I'll definitely be testing the autofocus when I get it.
when GR4??
@@willybobo8846 Haha, your guess is as good as mine for when the GR4 is coming? 🤷🏿♂️
